if i dont tell everyone every single thought i have i will simply explode

i dont think they could have killed off spectra bc 1. he was and still is insanely popular and 2. that would have made mira's ending way too depressing for what was kinda a kids show??? but i do believe they fully intended to kill off gus bc ive watched that episode a billion times over and like. thats. thats not something one survives. gus wtf. i mean im happy he came back bc i adore him but. *gestures vaguely* they killed off 2 of his bakugan he was absolutely not gonna come back

i wrote all that while half asleep and only uploaded it now so if none of it made sense thats why

im back so its time for me to rant abt how my favourite characters deserved so much better.

anyway day ?????? of me still being mad that they made spectra's motive be that he wants "power for power's sake". That's Not A Motive You Give To A Character You Plan To Make Redeemable. bc like its obvs they planned to redeem him from the start. and i love spectra they're one of my absolute favourite characters ever but like UGGHHHH and his lack of motive ruins both mira's writing and gus' writing and eughghghgh.

they could have so done something w the fact that he wanted to take over vestal at the beginning like idk. whenever they showed keith before he became spectra he's so nice and they dont rlly give any hints of "oh maybe he is a bit messed up actually" apart from that one scene w hydranoid but there's like. 0 context to that?? he's just standing there. menacingly. like why would that happening to hydranoid motivate him to become more powerful???

idk i see spectra as a character who was supposed to be written to be able to be redeemed so i try and find ways to make him (and gus!!) more sympathetic??? but the writers just went "oh yea this is spectra he is cruel and evil and the worst, but because he's mira's brother he's redeemable and did nothing wrong, thats how character development works right?"

im rambling here as i so often do when my favs have so much squandered potential im sorry gjdkfs but like!! idk they could have made it so his taking over vestal thing originally was him being like "wow the ppl ruling this place sucks someone should rlly do something about it" but then they could have made it so like he was like "oh im the only one who can do this" and gave him his god complex and make him believe that everything he is doing is right bc y'know. he is a bit messed up and like power corrupts ppl.

dont get me wrong i adore evil spectra he's an absolute joy to watch on screen and i love villains who's motive is "just because i can". but it doesn't work!! when ur character!!! is supposed to be able to be redeemed!!!

jesse but all his insane lines from ep 6

i still have not finished rewatching new vestroia or gundalian invaders bc im a lazy ass w like no attention span im so sorry the live watch docs are like nowhere near done

idek if anyone is still here but *pokes u all with a stick* u all okay??

good evening gay ppl how in gods name do i still get notifs for a fanfic i wrote like a year ago im not even a writer there rlly does need to be more content in the spectra/gus tag on ao3 huh

Gus looking with murderous intent for all your evil Gus needs

Kazarina

character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with: gill and maybe even serena

general opinions: the real villain of s3 if you ask me! wish she’d gotten rid of barodious at some point and become like, the actual threat of gundalian invaders that the gang needed to defeat. she had the tactics, she led the troops, she had the hypnosis and she made dharak stronger too, her shoulders must be sore from carrying 39 episodes on her back. what did barodious even do?? steal all her credit, that’s what 😔

ajshdaksdjaks they had to nerf her w a dumb crush on barodious or else she would’ve went straight for his jugular and taken the throne. tragic. terrible. they hate to see a girlboss win 😔😔

mira w her constant “say hi to runo for me” remarks w a little wink tossed in and “hey runo what do you think of my new haircut, do you think dan would like it, here let me get real close to you and ask what you think”

i have so many hc and the gender + sexualities + pronouns of so many characters like. half of these characters are aliens they absolutely do not give a shit abt earth's gender standards. the gundalians probably just took the first pronouns they heard and said "yea i guess that's how that works". the brawlers are all gay too, just look at them

ur honor they're both dumbasses

i dont rlly have anything for bakugan ship week? month? whatever it is? other than mira/fabia and both of them taking turns just picking each other up like its nothing

kazarina could have taken over gundalia if she wanted, barodius is lucky as fuck that she was in love w him for some reason

it seems to look not this large on twitter...
